The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2285 - 2274: What Must Come Will Come

Because Luo Qianjiang and Jin Hongsheng had only just arrived, they hadn't yet informed Li Yuanmu and the others about Ye Chenfeng's supposed demise. Witnessing Ye Chenfeng's reappearance, they promptly recounted the recent ordeal with the Brain-Eating Ghost Insect to Li Yuanmu and the rest.

Upon hearing the account, Li Yuanmu, Hua Wanchuan, and the others couldn't help but narrow their eyes. To have survived an encounter with countless Brain-Eating Ghost Insects and to emerge with such enhanced strength felt inherently unsettling.

Hua Wanchuan and Luo Qianhai yearned to tear Ye Chenfeng apart, yet Ye Chenfeng's continued defiance piqued their curiosity. They suspected he harbored a significant secret, particularly regarding his astonishingly rapid cultivation advancement.

Hua Wanchuan spoke with measured calm, "Esteemed colleagues, while Ye Chenfeng certainly deserves death, I believe he still possesses untapped potential. Let us thoroughly exploit his value before we deem him disposable. What are your thoughts?"

Luo Qianhai, Jin Hongsheng, and the other ancestors concurred. The Divine King Realm elders from other sects, however, appeared detached. Meanwhile, the collective focus remained fixed on Ye Chenfeng and Tan Yuanwu.

As the brilliant white light enveloping the colossal arena began to recede, onlookers outside the barrier turned their attention towards the arena.

Ultimately, the prospect of the treasures contained within the arena held greater appeal to them than Ye Chenfeng himself.

With the gradual fading of the white light, the barrier naturally diminished, signaling its impending disappearance.

Before them stood the immense arena, meticulously constructed from Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones, an attraction in itself to the assembled cultivators.

Those who observed the dissipating white light held their breath, faces alight with anticipation for the riches promised within the arena.

"If only I could obtain a Five-Star Secret Method! Even a Four-Star Secret Method would be a satisfactory prize," one cultivator mused.

"With so many formidable individuals present, we cultivators of the Heavenly God Realm should temper our expectations for top-tier secret techniques and cultivation methods. I shall prioritize acquiring some Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones first," another commented.

...As the ethereal white light outside continued to wane, conversations buzzed amongst the assembled cultivators.

Suddenly.

"Pop!"

The white light encasing the arena vanished entirely.

The expectant cultivators surged towards the arena. Hua Wanchuan and the other Divine King Realm experts, who had been observing Ye Chenfeng, shifted their focus but did not immediately descend.

Having spent several days within the Bloodswallow Clan's ancient grounds, Hua Wanchuan and the other Divine King Realm cultivators sensed an unusual aura about the location, prompting their caution. They reasoned that with their advanced cultivation, even if they were mistaken, the genuine treasures would eventually become theirs.

Similarly, the Divine King Realm ancestors from sects like Xiao Yao Palace remained stationary, with only a few impulsive cultivators in the early Divine King Realm rushing towards the grand arena.

Dozens of cultivators swarmed the arena, desperately vying for the coveted treasures—driven by avarice and the promise of abundance. As time progressed, Hua Wanchuan and his peers prepared to make their move when...

"Boom!"

The entire arena was engulfed by a descending shroud of white light, identical to the previous barrier, rendering it impenetrable even to those at the Peak Divine King Realm.

This abrupt turn of events.

Except for Ye Chenfeng, who had foreseen it, everyone else was momentarily paralyzed by shock.

While all stood in stunned silence, the arena, fashioned from Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones, vanished along with its unparalleled treasures, leaving behind naught but an illusion.

In the fleeting moments before comprehension dawned.

The white light revealed the bodies of the weaker cultivators undergoing a gradual dissolution.

Unlike the previous instance where bodies simply exploded into a bloody mess, the final phase of the seal now caused their bodies to disintegrate.

The process commenced with the skin, followed by the flesh, and finally the bones, all occurring at a discernible pace. Piercing cries echoed from within the white light.

The cultivators ultimately melted into pools of blood, which seeped into the intricate patterns on the ground, resulting in a far more agonizing demise than the abrupt explosions previously witnessed.

Cultivators persistently attempted to breach the white light, but their efforts proved utterly futile.

Very soon.

All cultivators trapped within the white light were reduced to blood, their remnants coalescing to form a colossal, blood-red character spelling "Alive" upon the ground's patterns.

Witnessing the unveiling of the first three Undying Seals had never been experienced by Hua Wanchuan and his companions as they stood beyond the white light. In mere moments, dozens of cultivators, even those at the Divine King Realm, had been reduced to mere pools of blood.

Solemnity settled upon the faces of Hua Wanchuan, Luo Qianhai, and the others.

The blood-red character for "Alive" etched on the ground pulsed with intense red light, shooting towards the heavens and forming a colossal "Alive" character in the sky.

This signified the emergence of the fourth "Alive" character in the heavens.

While Hua Wanchuan and his entourage had never personally observed the unsealing of the previous three, they were aware of the sky-borne "Alive" characters. However, each time they investigated the origin point, nothing remained.

At this juncture, Hua Wanchuan and the others became increasingly aware of the peculiarity of this location.

Now that the Undying Seal had been completely broken.

Ye Chenfeng understood that the Bloodswallow Clan would inevitably be resurrected; what was destined to occur, would occur.

He keenly monitored the shifts within the Bloodswallow Clan's ancestral domain, swiftly amplifying the spiritual energy within his body, bracing himself for combat. Without any prior preparations, could he truly stand a chance against the Bloodswallow Clan?
